The Electric Vehicle Company

SEVC is owned by Chicago area businessman, Larry Spatz, owner and director of Spatz Holdings. Founded in 2008, SEVC focuses on providing gas-free and emissions-free transportation with a vehicle lineup that includes it's unique 14-passenger solar people movers in addition to electric security and police vehicles.

Through its groundbreaking FreeEV program and s economical leasing plan SEVC was able to supply people movers that became a marketable revenue source through corporations and private sponsors eager for exposure and association with green energy. The demand for these vehicles has been great, including more than 25 major US zoos, as well a long list of Fortune 500 companies, municipalities, universities, parks, gardens, malls, corporate campuses and airports around the country.

However, during the economic downturn, sponsorship dollars disappeared. Of even more significance, the quality and engineering of the vehicles was not up to s high standards. To resolve this issue, SEVC sought out a U.S. manufacturing and an engineering partner to produce and assemble vehicles in the U.S. in accordance with U.S. quality control, specifications and safety standards.

SEVC is now relaunching with a new manufacturing partner and a strategic partnership with world class engineering firm, Livingston Products, Inc. (”). LPI is a headed by Troy Livingston. Mr. Livingston has over 40 years of engineering innovation experience and has over 50 U.S. patents to his credit.

Development

23 Passenger Solar Electric Shuttle

The first custom vehicle resulting from the manufacturing partnership between the Solar Electric Vehicle Company and Star EV is the new 23 Passenger Solar Electric Shuttle. This unique Shuttle is manufactured exclusively for SEVCs specific needs.

14 Passenger Enclosed Shuttle

The second specialty vehicle in development is a 14 passenger, enclosed solar electric shuttle with air-conditioning and heat that that won’t draw down the vehicle’s electricity. Additionally, the vehicles’ solar configurations have been engineered so powerfully that the solar electric shuttle will rarely need charging. This will also be the first shuttle to meet all US specifications and safety standards.

Global EV

Also in development is the Global Ev, a solar electric vehicle and power generator for use in third world nations.

Now it is possible to go straight from the farm to the local grocer or farmer's market to display and sell your goods without having to pollute the air or use a drop of gasoline. The Solar Electric Vehicle Company's Mobile Farm Stand's solar/battery system not only provides energy for the vehicle, but can also run a small cash register, scale and/or credit card reader. The great thing is that while you are charging for your crops, the solar cells keep charging the vehicle.

Our Solar Energy Technology

As much as 33% of the use of the vehicles can be powered by the Solar Energy.

Description

There are two solar panels on the top of the Solar Electric Vehicle Company's Solar Electric People Mover.

Each solar panel is designed to charge six 8 volt batteries, which is a 48 volt battery system The panel produces 60 volts to charge the 48 volt batteries. The panel produces up to 180 watts @ 60 volts, so a 3 amp continuous charge is produced from the panel when exposed to direct sunlight.

Extended Range and Battery Life

Solar energy increases the range of the vehicle charges by up to 33%. If a regular, non-solar vehicle gets 40 miles between charges, the Solar Shuttles will travel up to 60 miles between regular plug in charges.

Another benefit is that the solar energy will extend the battery life by giving the batteries a continuous charge. If a normal set of batteries last three years, the Solar Shuttles solar panel could extend the battery life an additional two years or more.

Solar Generator

The vehicle is a portable solar generator. If your regular power goes out, the vehicle has a 12 volt plug so you can plug appliances into it such as a small TV, lights and even a small refrigerator.

Finally, our solar panel has no moving parts and is designed to last 20 years.
